Sherron Collins evidently made a lasting impression on Michael Jordan and the rest of the Charlotte Bobcats' brass during his recent summer league tryout with the team.
Collins signed a contract with the Bobcats, the team announced Friday. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The addition of Collins, a rookie out of Kansas, gives the Bobcats another point guard with the potential to score from the perimeter.
In the Bobcats' final summer-league game at Orlando earlier this summer, Collins scored 32 points, hitting seven of 11 3-point shots. Over four summer-league games, Collins averaged 12.5 points and 2.8 assists, shooting .615 from 3-point range.
Collins, 5-feet, 11-inches tall, was a consensus first-team All-American at Kansas in 2009-10 and he won the Frances Pomeroy Naismith award as the best college player under 6feet tall. He was a two-time first-team All-Big 12 player and ranks fifth on the all-time scoring list at Kansas with 1,888 points.
